Directions: Read the following texts from which five sentences have been removed. Choose from the sentences A—G the most suitable one to fill each numbered gap in the text (1—5). There are TWO extra sentences that you do not need to use. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.  Practice 1  1 ______ For this reason, there is a current boom in language learning for business people. But unless they can speak a foreign language really well, it is best to save it for socializing.  2 ______ And psychologists say that your body language is much more important than what you say. Doing the wrong thing, making eye contact, touching, using people’s first names, even how you eat and drink—can all be hazardous for people who are unfamiliar with certain cultures.  3 ______ In low context cultures such as North America, Britain, Sweden and Germany, people say things very plainly, and rely on clear verbal communication. High context cultures such as France, Japan, Spain, Saudi Arabia, China and South Korea often use silence or hand signals to communicate, and this can sometimes be as important as speaking.  4 ______ In Japan, people bow to each other. In England, people shake hands firmly, but not very often—while in places like Italy and France people shake hands all the time but not as firmly as the English. The Germans and the Danish nod their heads while they shake hands, as a mark of respect, while people in Mediterranean countries sometimes lean their heads backwards while doing the same thing.  5 ______ For example, the British kiss each other once, on the right cheek, the French kiss each other twice, first on the left cheek and then on the right, but in some cultures, especially in the Middle East, they kiss up to four times and still shake hands![A] But actions speak louder than words.[B] Trying to make people from other cultures feel comfortable can be confusing as well.[C] One of the most important aspects of doing business internationally is being able to speak other languages.[D] Some cultures communicate by using signals.[E] Cultures are divided into “low context” and “high context”.[F] Shaking hands is often the most common form of greeting people, but even this can create problems.[G] As a rule, though, close physical greetings such as kissing are not a good idea.

Instead of including that paragraph, she added one that described Lengel’s crabbed response to the girls so that she could lead up to the A & P “policy” he enforces.[F] In the final paragraph about the significance of the setting in “A & P,” the student brings together the reasons Sammy quit his job by referring to his refusal to accept Lengel’s store policies.[G] By using the first draft as a means of thinking about what you want to say, you will very likely discover more than your notes originally suggested. Plenty of good writers don’t use outlines at all but discover ordering principles as they write. Do not attempt to compose a perfectly correct draft the first time around.

Your response will be scored on the quality and variety of your sentences, vocabulary, and organization.Practice 1Directions: Read the e-mail below.Directions: Respond to the e-mail as if you are Ms. Chilton. In your e-mail, make THREE suggestions for lunch menu options.

    正确答案: (1)
    Mark,
    Yes, I agree with you. It is important to try and oblige Mr. Sanders.
    My first advice is to have Taj Mahal catere the banquet. The reason is that they can provide a wide selection of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian choices. But they are a bit expensive.
    The second option is Willie’s Dell. They deliver dell and delicious sandwiches, which can be customized according to buyer’s order. Their menu is both quite extensive and cheap.
    Finally, you might try The Soup Pot. They have really tasty soups. which are amazingly filling, and they get a wide variety of flavors.
    If you need the contact information of any of these, please let me know.
    Karen
    解 析:该答案完整地回答了提示(Directions)中要求的事项(三种午餐菜单建议)。文中使用了My first advice is… →The second… →Finally…句型依次写下了三种建议,使整篇文章连贯、有条不紊。
    (2)
    Mark,
    I think we can help Mr. Sanders with his vegetarian preferences, in respect that he is a very important client.
    First of all, a new restaurant called All Natural just opened for business. I recommend it because it has a strictly vegetarian menu. They offer appetizers, entrees and dessert. It is worth noting they have wonderful sandwiches. It might be limiting though, to offer only a vegetarian option.
    And secondly, a Mexican restaurant might actually be good. I know it is not a typical dish considered for vegetarian fare, but you can order some maigre salads, tacos or burritos.
    Finally, if you think the choice above is too casual, maybe we could also try Mabel’s. They provide a variety of vegetable dishes and their food is delicious as well. But the problem is that I am not sure if they would deliver.
    I hope the suggestions would help.
    Karen
    解 析:解答本题时,要把自己假定成回信的当事人,根据提出的要求有条理地进行写作,这一点十分重要。该答案的特点是在各项建议之间加上了It might be limiting…,If it is too casual…等句子作为过渡,使得文章整体流畅自然。
    (3)
    Mark,
    There are several vegetarian options you can choose from. The Golden Ladle on Pike Street offers vegetarian meals, such as baked eggplant lasagna and squash casserole. I was told that they accept take-out orders, because they do not deliver.
    You can get a couple of options from the Vietnamese restaurant, too. They have some meatless food, like fried noodle dishes, and also some other delicious soups and exquisite side dishes.
    My another suggestion is to order from the good caterer or restaurant which you employed before, ask them to make a meatless meal. You can just request a vegetable dish take the place of a meat meal. And this might be the simplest way if you have already arranged a caterer.
    Feel free to call me if you have any questions.

    In the following text,some sentences have been removed.For Questions 41-45,choose the most suitable one from the fist A-G to fit into each of the numbered blanks.Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET.(10 points)How does your reading proceed?Clearly you try to comprehend,in the sense of identifying meanings for individual words and working out relationships between them,drawing on your explicit knowledge of English grammar(1)______you begin to infer a context for the text,for instance,by making decisions about what kind of speech event is involved:who is making the utterance,to whom,when and where.The ways of reading indicated here are without doubt kinds of of comprehension.But they show comprehension to consist not just passive assimilation but of active engagement inference and problem-solving.You infer information you feel the writer has invited you to grasp by presenting you with specific evidence and cues(2)_______Conceived in this way,comprehension will not follow exactly the same track for each reader.What is in question is not the retrieval of an absolute,fixed or“true”meaning that can be read off and clocked for accuracy,or some timeless relation of the text to the world.(3)_______Such background material inevitably reflects who we are,(4)_______This doesn’t,however,make interpretation merely relative or even pointless.Precisely because readers from different historical periods,places and social experiences produce different but overlapping readings of the same words on the page-including for texts that engage with fundamental human concerns-debates about texts can play an important role in social discussion of beliefs and values.How we read a given text also depends to some extent on our particular interest in reading it.(5)_______such dimensions of read suggest-as others introduced later in the book will also do-that we bring an implicit(often unacknowledged)agenda to any act of reading.It doesn’t then necessarily follow that one kind of reading is fuller,more advanced or more worthwhile than another.Ideally,different kinds of reading inform each other,and act as useful reference points for and counterbalances to one another.Together,they make up the reading component of your overall literacy or relationship to your surrounding textual environment.
    [A]Are we studying that text and trying to respond in a way that fulfills the requirement of a given course?Reading it simply for pleasure?Skimming it for information?Ways of reading on a train or in bed are likely to differ considerably from reading in a seminar room.
    [B]Factors such as the place and period in which we are reading,our gender ethnicity,age and social class will encourage us towards certain interpretations but at the same time obscure or even close off others.
    [C]If you are unfamiliar with words or idioms,you guess at their meaning,using clues presented in the context.On the assumption that they will become relevant later,you make a mental note of discourse entities as well as possible links between them.
    [D]In effect,you try to reconstruct the likely meanings or effects that any given sentence,image or reference might have had:These might be the ones the author intended.
    [E]You make further inferences,for instance,about how the text may be significant to you,or about its validity—inferences that form the basis of a personal response for which the author will inevitably be far less responsible.
    [F]In plays,novels and narrative poems,characters speak as constructs created by the author,not necessarily as mouthpieces for the author’s own thoughts.
    [G]Rather,we ascribe meanings to texts on the basis of interaction between what we might call textual and contextual material:between kinds of organizations or patterning we perceive in a text’s formal structures(so especially its language structures)and various kinds of background,social knowledge,belief and attitude that we bring to the text.
